[0003] Because in order to be able to save cost more, need through design a kind of simultaneously solve the transmission belt wear and tear problem caused by coplanarity and vibration frequency difference's engine mounting structure. SUMMARY
[0004] The utility model discloses an engine mounting structure for engineering machinery, which controls the coplanarity of the engine drive pulley mounting surface and the generator driven pulley mounting surface by setting an integrated engine front support frame and a generator mounting bracket combined structure, controls the lateral position of the generator by the tensioning adjusting assembly to adjust the tensioning degree of the transmission belt, reduces the wear and tear and shaking of the belt during operation, and prolongs the service life of the belt.
[0005] Technical scheme: an engine mounting structure for engineering machinery, comprising an integrated horizontally arranged engine front support frame and a generator mounting bracket, which are combined in an L-shaped bending structure; the engine front support frame is fixedly installed on the lower edge of the engine, and the generator mounting bracket is arranged perpendicularly to one end of the engine front support frame; the generator is installed on the upper side of the generator mounting bracket through a tensioning adjusting assembly, the input shaft of the generator is provided with a driven pulley, which is connected in power with a drive pulley driven by the output shaft of the engine through a transmission belt, and the driven pulley of the generator and the drive pulley of the engine are arranged on the same vertical plane.
[0006] This utility model features an integrated engine front support frame and generator mounting bracket combined structure, manufactured through welding and bending processes to ensure overall structural strength. The two components are positioned perpendicularly to each other, and the coplanarity of the engine drive pulley mounting surface and the generator driven pulley mounting surface is controlled by machining precision. The tension of the drive belt is adjusted by controlling the lateral position of the generator through a tension adjustment component. By mounting the generator and engine together in an integrated frame structure, vibration synchronization between the engine and generator is achieved, reducing belt wear and vibration during operation, extending belt lifespan, and thus increasing the belt maintenance cycle.
[0007] The tension adjustment assembly includes a generator mounting plate disposed between the generator and the generator mounting bracket. The generator mounting plate has adjustment threaded holes arranged in a rectangular array. The generator mounting bracket has a guide groove parallel to the drive belt at a position corresponding to the adjustment threaded holes. A first adjustment bolt that is threadedly connected to the adjustment threaded holes is slidably disposed through the guide groove.
[0008] At least one lateral adjustment block is provided on any side of the generator mounting plate along the direction of the transmission belt. Side plates are fixedly provided on the edges of the engine front support frame and the generator mounting bracket. A second adjustment bolt is provided through the side plate near the lateral adjustment block. The second adjustment bolt is threadedly connected to the lateral adjustment block and slidably connected to the side plate.
[0009] The lateral movement of the generator as a whole is achieved by combining the first adjusting bolt, the guide groove, and the adjusting threaded hole on the generator mounting plate, which restricts the movement direction of the generator mounting plate and ensures the coplanarity of the drive pulley and the driven pulley. The lateral movement of the generator mounting plate is controlled by rotating the second adjusting bolt through the side plate and the lateral adjusting block. With the help of the guide groove, the tension can be adjusted.
[0010] The generator housing is provided with a mounting bracket, which is fixedly connected to the generator mounting plate by bolts. The generator mounting bracket is provided with adjustment slots corresponding to the position and number of bolt connections between the generator mounting plate and the mounting bracket.

The protruding bolt heads on the bottom surface of the generator mounting plate move within the range of the adjustment slot during movement. The adjustment slot is designed to accommodate the protruding structure on the bottom surface of the generator mounting plate while reducing the weight of the generator mounting bracket.
[0012] A circular window is provided in the middle of the generator mounting plate.
[0013] The generator mounting plate is the structure for installing the generator and adjusting its position. Therefore, opening a circular window in the middle not only does not affect the installation but also reduces weight, facilitates position adjustment, and makes adjustment easier.

The lower ends of the first shock absorber, the second shock absorber and the third shock absorber are respectively fixedly connected to the support frame extending from the vehicle frame.
[0015] By installing three shock absorbers, the first and second shock absorbers work together to absorb and dampen vibrations, while the third shock absorber passes through the circular window of the generator mounting bracket and the generator mounting plate to effectively absorb and dampen generator vibrations. This reduces the impact of vibrations on the installation stability of the structure, reduces noise, and effectively reduces the impact of vibrations on the drive belt, thus reducing wear on the drive belt.
[0016] A mounting base with threaded holes is provided on the side plate near the engine. The mounting base is fixedly installed to the lower edge of the engine. At least two first stiffeners are provided at both ends along the width direction of the engine front support frame to connect the two side plates. At least two second stiffeners are provided at both ends along the width direction of the generator mounting bracket to connect the side plates and the upper side of the generator mounting bracket.
[0017] To improve the overall structural strength of the engine front support frame and generator mounting bracket, side plates are provided at the edges, and stiffeners are added for reinforcement. The side plate where the engine mounting base is located requires even higher strength, so the first stiffener is designed to span the entire engine front support frame to provide sufficient structural strength to suspend the generator and other components, thereby improving structural stability.
[0018] Beneficial Effects: This utility model is a sheet metal structure that forms a reliable rigid bracket through bending and welding of sheet metal parts, satisfying the integrated installation of the engine and generator. The overall structure is easy to manufacture, requiring no molds; the manufacturing process only involves bending and welding, resulting in low cost. By setting an integrated engine front support frame and generator mounting bracket combination structure, manufactured as a single unit through welding and bending processes, the overall structural strength is ensured while the two are positioned perpendicularly. Furthermore, the coplanarity of the engine drive pulley mounting surface and the generator driven pulley mounting surface is controlled by machining precision. The tension of the drive belt is adjusted by controlling the lateral position of the generator through a tension adjustment component. By installing the generator and engine together through an integrated frame structure, the vibration of the engine and generator is synchronized, reducing belt wear and vibration during operation, extending belt life, and thus increasing the belt maintenance cycle.

The generator is mounted on the upper side of the generator mounting bracket 2 through a tension adjustment component 3. The input shaft of the generator is provided with a driven pulley 4, which is poweredly connected to a drive pulley 6 driven by the engine output shaft through a transmission belt 5. The driven pulley 4 of the generator and the drive pulley 6 of the engine are arranged on the same vertical plane.
[0027] This utility model features an integrated engine front support frame 1 and generator mounting bracket 2, manufactured as a single unit through welding and bending processes. This ensures the overall structural strength while maintaining the perpendicularity of the two components. Furthermore, the coplanarity of the engine drive pulley 6 mounting surface and the generator driven pulley 4 mounting surface is controlled by precision machining. The tension adjustment component 3 adjusts the lateral position of the generator to regulate the tension of the transmission belt 5. By mounting the generator and engine together in an integrated frame structure, the vibration of the engine and generator is synchronized, reducing belt wear and vibration during operation, extending belt life, and thus increasing the belt's maintenance cycle.
[0028] The tension adjustment assembly 3 includes a generator mounting plate 31 disposed between the generator and the generator mounting bracket 2. The generator mounting plate 31 has adjustment threaded holes 311 arranged in a rectangular array. The generator mounting bracket 2 has a guide groove 21 that is parallel to the transmission belt 5 at the position corresponding to the adjustment threaded holes 311. A first adjustment bolt 7 is slidably disposed through the guide groove 21 and threadedly connected to the adjustment threaded holes 311.
[0029] At least one lateral adjustment block 312 is provided on any side of the generator mounting plate 31 along the direction of the transmission belt 5.

[0030] The lateral movement of the generator as a whole is achieved by the combination of the first adjusting bolt 7, the guide groove 21 and the adjusting threaded hole 311 on the generator mounting plate 31, which restricts the movement direction of the generator mounting plate 31 and ensures the coplanarity of the drive pulley 6 and the driven pulley 4. The lateral movement of the generator mounting plate 31 is controlled by rotating the second adjusting bolt 9 through the side plate 8 and the lateral adjusting block 312.
